The filing of COCs will be from October 1 to 5, 2012, 8 am to 5 pm. There will be no extension, according to COMELEC officials.

COMELEC Chairman Sixto Brillantes also called for a “dignified” filing of COCs.

COMELEC also reminded candidates that COCs should be filed with the correct offices. Candidates with political parties should also attach their certificates of nomination and acceptance (CONA) when they file before the appropriate COMELEC office. Failure to do so will prompt COMELEC to consider the said candidate independent.

In Bukidnon, the provincial COMELEC office is located along Sanvictores Street, Malaybalay City.
